    Ion exchange process between ion NH4+ and H+ by using zeolite as its ion exchanger is one of methods to purify water from ammonium ion content. Natural zeolites are chosen as ion exchanger because it is abundantly provided in Indonesia, especially in Lampung. The influences of reaction temperature and stirrer speed toward reaction rate constant, mass transfer coefficient and effective diffusivity in batch ion exchange process, were analysed by using shrinking core model. Processes run by mixing zeolite and ammonium solution in a stirred tank at 30, 40 and 50oC with stirrer speed variation of 700, 800 and 900 rpm. Every 5 up to 60 min, the sample was taken for ammonium ion analyses. The results show that mass transfer, intraparticle diffusion and ion exchange reaction resistance influenced the overall rate of reaction. The results also show that reaction temperature and stirrer speed influenced the reaction rate constant, mass transfer coefficient and effective diffusivity. The correlations of them are stated in simple empirical equation. Shrinking core model was good to describe the ion exchange kinetics between NH4+ and H+ ion in natural zeolite from Lampung with the average error range of 1,15 % 3,71%.Keywords: ion exchange kinetics, Lampung natural zeolite, shrinking core model

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dehidrasi Etanol Pada Kolom Fixed Bed Menggunakan Adsorben Pelet Dari Limbah Abu Dasar Pembakaran Batubara

    Coal Bottom Ash (CBA) merupakan limbah dasar hasil pembakaran batubara pada Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Uap. CBA mengandung silika dan alumina yang dapat digunakan sebagai adsorben untuk dehidrasi etanol. CBA terlebih dahulu dihaluskan hingga ukuran 200 mesh. Kemudian ditambahkan perekat berupa tepung terigu dan dibentuk menjadi pelet. CBA kemudian dikalsinasi dengan suhu 500° C selama 2 jam. Adsorben pelet yang terbentuk dikarakterisasi menggunakan XRF, XRD, FTIR, BET dan SEM. Hasil analisis XRF menunjukkan adsorben pelet didominasi alumina (28,156%) dan silika (53,978%), hasil analisis XRD menunjukkan bahwa adsorben pelet didominasi oleh kristal quartz dan albite, hasil analisis BET menunjukkan adsorben mempunyai luas permukaan sebesar 2,8419 m2/g. Proses adsorpsi dilakukan secara kontinyu dalam kolom adsorpsi berdiameter 3 cm yang berisi adsorben pelet dengan tinggi 10 cm dan dilakukan variasi laju alir umpan sebesar 6, 10 dan 14 ml/menit dengan konsentrasi umpan larutan etanol sebesar  91,805%. Kapasitas dan kinetika adsorpsi dihitung menggunakan tiga persamaan model kinetika adsorpsi yaitu model kinetika adsorpsi Adam-Bohart, Yoon-Nelson dan Thomas. Didapatkan nilai R2 tertinggi pada model persamaan Adam Bohart pada laju alir 10 ml/menit yakni dengan nilai R2 sebesar 0,981 dengan konsentrasi tertinggi dicapai pada konsentrasi 98,813%

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
